Director Statement

This piece was a labor of Love. I lost my child Ashley Rene and my grand-daughter due to complications to her pregnancy. I have struggled for years dealing with this loss. I decided I wanted to share my story to help others who have lost a child, and also for those who do not or want to understand. Losing a child is the most un-natural thing that can happen to a parent. It has changed my life forever.
